<p>Lauren Celano will provide her personal insight into the types of
career opportunities that exist in the Boston area for those
individuals who are completing their graduate or postdoctoral
training. She will discuss the various skills, aptitudes,
competencies, and personalities that thrive in each career type.
She will also address the following topic: Career opportunities
outside of academia; identifying transferable skills to assist in
job search; how effective networking can help you identify career
leads; the importance of informational interviewing, and how to
land the job once you get an interview. While there will be a
strong focus on the life sciences sector, the presentation will be
helpful to postdocs in all fields.</p>
